yes there is lots about Johannas - Bernice's mother is English and Father is Dutch and Bernice was born in St. Louis America 1918 approx. I should be able to find her whereabouts.

I just made the grave error of logging on to RecordsLogin.com this website is a scam. (this is what happens to us newbees. Thankfully I just got one year membership, but they must be making a fortune with lots of naive people like me around.

I am not one hundred percent sure if she married. But I do not seem to be able to find her under her birth name anywhere after 1936.

Emma,

I'm not seeing a marriage.... I wouldn't have thought this was down to a spelling error of her name as the family seemed well educated.
